How will the general public react to this film?

sad to say but i think the lack of advertisement for this flick will be the doom of it. i don't think thor will do well at all anyways. i like the character but i think captain will steal the show.
 
There's still 6 months until the release date. I'm sure we'll start seeing the ad campaign ramp up later this month and into the new year.
 
lol @ lack of advertisement killing this movie

They are going to advertise the HELL out of this, starting shortly

lol all you want, i just think it won't pull numbers "anywhere" close to ironman. i just hope nothing affects the avengers movie. im sure captain will attract more people.
 
I didn't say it would. But arbitrarily stating that advertisement not having started more than 6 months out is going to doom the film, when we know a big ad campaign will be starting in the very near future, elicits a lol.
 
LOL indeed.It will make a lot of money.The 'lack of advertisement' idea is completely clueless.
Btw,I've said it before,but captain will have a hard time outside the US.

both thor & captain will have to pull decent numbers for the avengers to even happen.

Definitely, I'm pretty sure Marvel doesn't want another TIH on their hands.
 
No movie gets this slot and gets poor adverts.


I think the last movie that 'under performed in the first of may Slot was MI 3 and that was the trilogy curse.


This movie is going to do very well, Priest is the week 2 comp, an R rated movie that I doubt will hit number 1. THor will get 2 weeks in early May at number 1.


Cap has Harry Potter infront of it
GL has Car 2 a sure fire Pixar hit in it's 2nd week.


Thors trailer will drop in just a few weeks, lets wait and see what the buzz is like after something public is actually released on a large scale.

Filming for Avengers starts early next year and will be done (or mostly done) before Thor & Cap are even released. With set construction having apparently begun it's happening already.
 
Yeah Evans will jump from one to the other practically seemlessly

If Thor gets 2/3 of what Iron Man movies get (i.e. $200 mil), I'll do a back flip for joy. Not really fair to use the IM movies as a benchmark.
 
For this thor movie to reach iron man popularity the thor character just has to seem amazing!
Like the actor that plays him has to steal the show ala gerard butler/300 or heath leadger/joke. If a general public kinda guy see's this movie and comes out saying " wow, thor is the man!!!!!!!" then things are going in the right step in the movie selling well to the casual...

Don't get me wrong the rest of the movie has to be good as well but the main character has to like I said , STEAL THE SHOW!
 
In most cases I agree but there's always exceptions...Costner's Robin Hood did very well and Alan Rickman's baddie stole the film completely.
 
It sucked,indeed.It got really lost with so much marketing for IronMan..Not to mention all the problems with Norton.
 
It honestly depends how they're going to market the film like several of you had said. The studio needs to do a fine job though, because a lot of people who aren't familiar with the Marvel superhero, Thor, other characters like Spider-Man and X-Men pop up in their mind. Idk, my predictions for this summer's super hero movies is that Captain America or Green Lantern first, then Thor, then X-Men First Class. But who knows, it's possible that Thor becomes a huge hit, just as long as Critics give positive feed, along with the pubic, and excellent marketing, and just maybe, it can be this years "Iron Man."
 
I'm pretty sure this movie is going to be massive, as soon as the trailers start hitting and people see it people will be hooked.
 
I was looking online for all the movies that were released this year and jumped on over to next year's release list. I noticed Thor comes out the same week as the new Pirates. Does anyone think that it will severly hurt Thor's BO? Try to not let any bias and love for the character get in the way of thinking about this problem.

I'm just wondering if people think it might not do well in the theatre. I'm crossing my fingers for it to kick some ass, but you never know.
